It often happens that when you turn on the iPhone, there is a constant search for the network. The smartphone may not respond when the SIM card is pulled out and continue searching for the network. This usually happens after you pull out the battery, the firmware crashes, and the owner is at a loss, not knowing what to do. It turns out that in order to restore the operation of the device, it is not at all necessary to reflash it.
Constant network search iPhone (iPhone). The most common causes of breakage:
- Incorrectly selected network
In other words, the use of your SIM card does not match the operator specified in the settings. In this case, this cannot be called a serious problem, since its elimination even for a non-experienced user will take no more than a few minutes.
- Automatic network search not selected
If the smartphone is constantly looking for a network, and you do not know what to do, then try to go to the settings and in the "Search for a network" section, turn on the automatic mode. As a result, the device must independently select the required network. If it is not possible to solve the problem in this way, then the search for the network of a particular operator must be performed manually.
- SIM card problem
It is possible that the card has expired or the owner has not replenished the balance for a long time. Less often, it happens that the SIM card has been subjected to mechanical stress, especially when the user has often rearranged it.
- Breakage in the device itself
The reason for the malfunction of the mobile device cannot be ruled out - from the malfunctioning of the software and ending with a violation in the electronic components. If the software can be reinstalled on its own, then in the future, failed parts can really be replaced only in a specialized center, where our specialists will gladly come to your aid.
- Sloppy handling
As practice shows, smartphones rarely break down by themselves. Only careless handling or non-observance of operating rules can lead to a variety of breakdowns.
For example, our service center is often approached by customers with the problem of constantly searching for a network on the iPhone (iPhone), and with new phones. Our technicians perform diagnostics and discover that moisture has entered the phone case. We quickly solved the problem and issued a warranty for the smartphone.
There are other cases when the owners of smartphones contact us, making various manipulations with the settings. As a result, it turned out that the device had been smuggled into Russia, and it was tuned to another operator. I had to "flash" it and solve the problem with the constant search for the network on the iPhone (iPhone).
Constant network search on iPhone (iPhone). What to do?
- Before repairing, you need to put the phone on airplane mode and then turn it off. However, this does not always help.
- Then go to Settings - Operator and check that the network is found, but it simply does not appear on the display.
- Go to Settings, General, About device and see if there are numbers below the modem firmware.
If an operator appears in the settings, but the constant search for the iPhone (iPhone) network is still displayed in the upper left corner, the firmware version of the modem is indicated, then this excludes the possibility that the gadget has any mechanical damage.
Next, you need to get it out of this state by going to Settings - General - Cellular data and activate Cellular data and 3G. Then wait until 3G appears. If it appears, but the search continues, go to the settings, turn off the network, and within 1 minute it will appear.
If a miracle did not happen, then you can solve the problem by connecting to iTunes. Sometimes the firmware is restored after connecting and appears in your smartphone's iTunes device list. The 3G method takes time and patience, so do not rush, the network may not appear immediately.

There are some nuances in using iPhone gadgets, so if you are faced with the fact that the phone does not find the operator's signal, do not panic - this can happen to anyone. There are many reasons why the iPhone does not see the network, they relate to the settings of the device or external malfunctions. Let's take a look at why the problems are happening and what you need to do to fix them.
The problem with communication on the iPhone is not an isolated one, but there are options for a quick solution
First of all, try to simply reboot the device - there may be a slight glitch in the system.
If that doesn't help, let's turn to the iPhone settings. Why is there no connection with the operator? In most cases, the problem with finding a network occurs due to incorrect time zone and time settings. To check this, follow these steps:
- Go to the setup menu and turn on Wi-Fi.
- Return to the main settings, select the Date and time menu.
- Here you will see the line "Automatic" - this function allows the device to independently determine the time zone and time. Put the button in the active position or, if the line is on, turn it off and then reactivate this mode.
- Wait about a minute, restart your phone.
Sometimes the device does not pick up the signal due to the fact that the operator does not provide its services in a certain region. To check if this is actually so, go to the menu with operating modes and select the "Airplane mode" option - turn it on, wait a few seconds. Then turn it off - after these actions, the network will reboot, after which the iPhone will search for the signal.
If there are no changes, check the settings of your provider. To do this, you need to do the following:
- Open your iPhone options, Operator.
- Make sure the settings are automatically detected.
Search for updates
Your iPhone may not pick up the signal due to the fact that you have not installed the latest updates for the system - they are necessary for the gadget to work correctly. Go to the item "About this device", if you see that there are new system files for the iPhone, connect to the Internet and start the update process.
Note. If for one reason or another you are unable to connect to the Internet from your phone, connect it to your computer, go to iTunes, start searching for updates and install them.
Faults after factory unlocking
Why is there no network after activating the iPhone? If, after factory unlocking, the device does not pick up a signal, this means that it sees the card itself, you only need to troubleshoot the parameters.
To do this, reset the settings - insert the SIM card, go to Basic settings, the Reset item and stop at the "Reset network settings" option.
Problems with finding a signal arise when the iPhone is activated using the SAMPrefs or Redsnow programs. If the unlocking was successful, but there is still no connection, you need to reset the settings of the smartphone, which is done in the following way:
- Insert the sim card and connect it to your computer, open iTunes.
- Make a backup, then click on the restore point.
- After the restoration is complete, you will be prompted to restore the iPhone from an existing backup or recognize it as a new device - select the second option.
- After the activation procedure, the phone will search for a network and connect to it.
Note. If the iPhone is still programmed to work with AT&T, it won't pick up on Russian ISPs anyway. It is necessary to unlock by IM-number - for this it is best to contact a specialist.
Other reasons for the lack of a network
The iPhone may not pick up the signal due to external problems with the card or the mobile equipment itself. This happens in such cases:
- If the SIM card was cut incorrectly, the phone may not recognize it correctly - contact your service provider directly and order the correct card for iPhone.
- An antenna malfunction has occurred in the mobile device - in such a situation, it is necessary to contact a specialist and return the device for repair.
If you insert another SIM card and it catches the network, the problem concerns a specific operator - he blocked the card you want to use. This happens for the following reasons:
- The connection is inactive because you have no funds in your account or you have not met other conditions for the provision of communication services.
- The card is blocked by the IMEY-code. In this case, contact the service center to activate it.
As you can see, various factors can affect the operation of the network in the iPhone, but all the problems that have arisen are quite easy to fix and in most cases it is quite possible to do it yourself and without wasting time and money.
Articles and Life Hacks
From time to time users of "apple" gadgets are faced with a similar situation. If iPhone has no network, first you need to check if there is at least some signal reception. To do this, go to the settings and activate the automatic network search, that is, we search for the network manually. Those who know will immediately pay attention to the corresponding pictogram.
Our article is devoted to the "symptoms" of such a problem, as well as providing first aid to your mobile device. The fact is that in some cases, contacting a specialist may not be required, since the user is quite capable of fixing problems on his own.
No network in iPhone: alarming symptoms
It happens that on our device we see an inscription indicating that there is no network, but at the same time we are in a network coverage area with an excellent signal. It also happens that the smartphone loses its connection when it is out of the coverage area, but after returning there, the connection does not appear.
Another indicative symptom is the situation when the word "Search" is displayed in the status. In addition, when you go to the basic settings, the "About this device" menu, you may notice the absence of any information in the "Firmware" item.
What if there is no network in the iPhone?
So, if we are faced with one of the above alarming symptoms, or the network is absent under any other conditions, it is worth trying to consistently perform the following manipulations.
First, turn on and after five seconds turn off the "Airplane Mode" by going to the iPhone settings. You can also restart the mobile device itself.
In addition, it is recommended to remove the SIM-card and make sure that we have a really branded SIM card of the cellular operator. You should also check it for mechanical damage, or simply for the degree of wear. After that, you can try to install the SIM card again.
If all else fails, you need to check the settings of the cellular operator, including for updates. We connect to Wi-Fi, go to the main settings of the smartphone, the item "About this device". In the event that updates are available to us, the operating system will request their installation. If, however, we try to connect iPhone to iTunes. Next, we update the device to the latest version of iOS.
Another way is to reset your network settings. To do this, go to the basic settings, select the "Reset" item, and then - "Reset network settings".
If the iPhone does not have a network, and we are outside the country, we try to do the following. Select the "Operator" menu through the settings and click the "Automatic" item. If the iPhone detects any mobile network, it will display the corresponding menu.
It happens that the "Operator" section is not available abroad. In such a situation, you should contact Apple. Disable the above item "Automatically". A few minutes later, a list of mobile operators that are available should appear. This indicates the health of our device. If all of the above manipulations did not help, it is recommended to contact your cellular operator.
It happens that network problems are caused by our negligent handling of the smartphone. For example, failure can be the result of physical damage or moisture ingress. In addition, the problem is sometimes related to the fact that the SIM card is out of order. In any case, it will be possible to identify the cause only after a complete diagnosis of the iPhone.
After manipulating the iPhone's firmware or its hardware, it is not uncommon for the iPhone to not see the network. There can be many reasons for this problem, but one of the most common is a failure in the current date and time zone settings. Today we will look at the main ways to solve this problem.
After flashing iOS or replacing the SIM card, it happens that the iPhone says "no network". In place of the operator's logo is the inscription "No network". This situation immediately reduces the capabilities of the device and actually turns it into a player. Often, users take the device to a service center, where they try to return the connection for an additional fee, although in most situations the problem when the network on the iPhone disappears can be solved on their own.
The secret lies in the peculiarities of the work of iOS itself. The iPhone does not catch the network if the time zone and date / time do not match the current values. It is very easy to fix the situation by simply connecting the smartphone to a Wi-Fi network and performing a number of simple manipulations.
Time correction to restore access to the cellular network
As you can see, the method is very simple and at the same time quite effective. However, you definitely need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for the iPhone to register with Apple's server. Otherwise, the cellular connection will not come to life.
What if there is no wireless access point nearby?
In this case, the simplest solution would be to create a Wi-Fi network using another iPhone that can connect to the mobile Internet and distribute the wireless network. It is quite simple to do this:
After these manipulations, a new item will appear in the main settings menu - Modem mode. After activating it, the device will start to "distribute" the Internet.
If this method is also unavailable (the inscription "network search" on the iphone is saved), then all that remains is to restore the iOS firmware.
First, you will have to download the firmware file, connect your smartphone to a computer with iTunes installed. In the application, select Restore.
It is important to remember that the recovery procedure will erase all personal data and settings from the mobile device.
If even after these manipulations the iPhone does not levitate the network, then the problems may be associated with the hardware of the device and it is no longer possible to go to the service center.
In the world of Apple phones from Apple, not everything is as smooth as the manufacturer says. The "No network" error on iPhone is one of the most unpleasant phenomena. Moreover, she met on the iPhone 4, then was on the iPhone 5 and 5S. And the sixth version was not spared by this nuisance either.
There are three cases in which this error can occur.
1 The phone was brought to Russia unofficially and locked under a certain operator.
Many people who bought an iPhone on EBay or other foreign exchanges faced this. due to this, the price of the device comes out significantly lower. Only such a phone will not work without unlocking and will give this iPhone an "No network" error. There is only one way out in this situation - to take it to a specialist and pay for unblocking. You can't think of anything else.
2. Software failure of the smartphone.
This also happens - he's all Chinese, although there is an Apple nameplate. Restart your phone first. If he again does not find the network, then try to go into the settings and move the "Airplane mode" slider back and forth several times:
It's funny, but sometimes it works.
If you have just updated the firmware or reflashed your iPhone, after which the message "No network" appears, then very often the reason is in the incorrectly set time and date. To change it - connect your phone to a WiFi network with Internet access. After that - go to Settings >>> General >>> Date and Time:
There you need to find the slider automatically and set it to active mode. If it is already on, turn it off and on again. After that, restart the device.
The reason for the appearance on the iPhone of the "No network" error may be a failure in the settings of this cellular network itself. Try resetting them to factory defaults. To do this, go to Settings >>> General >>> Reset:
Click on the "Reset network settings" button. The phone will give you the following confirmation:
Click on "Reset settings", after which you need to reboot and check if the network has appeared.
If all else fails, try updating your iPhone through iTunes. If you have a backup, try rolling back to it.
3. The last possible cause is a hardware problem with the phone.
Most often - with an antenna. Or a radio module. If the "No Network" error on the iPhone appeared after you wet it or dropped it, then most likely this is what led to the problem. There is only one way out - a trip to the service center. I'll tell you right away - repairs are usually not cheap, so get ready for financial expenses.
